What is the equation of the line that contains the point (-5, -1) and has a slope of 4? write in slope-intercept form.
a y = 4x - 19
b. y = 4x+19
c y = 4x-1
d. y = 4x+1

Point-slope form is , where is the slope and is a point on the line.

Substitute the values.

Simplify the negative subtraction.

Distribute the .

Subtract on both sides.

B.y = 4x+19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a point and a slope, we can write the equation in point slope form

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

y--1 = 4(x--5)

y+1 = 4(x+5)

We want the equation in slope intercept form(y=mx+b)

Distribute

y+1 =4x+20

Subtract 1 from each side

y+1-1 = 4x+20-1

y = 4x+19

addition
